Thank you for not murdering the girl who bullied me even though you really really wanted to.

Thank you for tolerating my daily abusive, cruel and painfully accurate comments during my teen years understanding that I needed something strong to rebel against.

Thank you for laying awake at night thinking about my mental, emotional, physical, spiritual health and well being and how you can be helpful.

Thank you for allowing me to choose my destiny and financing it.

Thank you for dropping everything whenever I call and making me your top priority even though I’m a grown up now.

Thank you for accepting that I’m a completely different (and more pleasant) person to every else besides you because I know that nothing I say or do to you will affect your love for me and I sometimes exploit that.

Thank you for all of the unnoticed actions, thoughts, prayers and love directed toward me that are so infinite they can never be listed here.

Thank you allowing me to be your spiritual guide to evolve your heart, mind and soul in ways that could never be described.

Thank you for joining the army of motherhood.

“Thank you for your continued service.”
